Urgent: YouTube disinformation profit

mardi 13 février 2024 à 17:50

US citizens: call on Youtube to stop profiting from global heating denialism.

(wordplay)
The page misuses the word "monetizing", which properly means "using something as currency." I refuse to imitate that bad change in the English language, but I agree in substance with the petition so I signed it.

The petition also use the term "content creators" to refers to the makers of videos that pretend global heating is unreal or not disastrous. The term fits in a way, since those videos are designed to make people content with seeing our world go down the tubes.

Civilization depends on people to refuse to be content with this. Please be a malcontent creator like me!

Running candidates against Labour

mardi 13 février 2024 à 04:48

UK voters who consider Labour too right-wing, especially in its total support for Israel's war policy, are organizing to run candidates against Labour

They have concluded, as I have, that they cannot influence Starmer-Labour except by running against it. I expect they will influence Starmer-Labour's stand on Gaza. I hope they will also influence Starmer-Labour stand on plutocracy and the environment.
